Paris 36 -- Set in a suburb of north-east Paris between December 1935 and July 1936 during the 'revolutionary' period of the Popular Front (who introduced the first paid holidays and a shorter working week). Three unemployed performers decide to take over by force the music hall where they worked a few months earlier and stage a show there.

Himalaya -- Filmed over seven months in the forbidding Dolpo region of Nepal, HIMALAYA tells the story of a generational struggle for the leadership of a tiny mountain village between its proud old chief and a headstrong young caravanner. The balance of power shifts uneasily as they make their annual salt trek across the Himalayas. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2000.

Using gliders, balloons and remote controlled airplanes, filmmakers take to the skies to study birds in flight, following often hazardous migratory paths across the globe. A memorable award-winning documentary.
